Apple Music is Apple's subscription music service, with the full catalogue available in lossless audio and a large share of it in spatial audio at no extra cost.
It leans more on human curation and editorial radio than on algorithmic playlists, which gives it a different character from its main competitor even where the catalogues overlap.
It integrates tightly with Apple devices — Siri, HomePod, CarPlay and the Watch — and also runs on Android and the web, though the experience is most complete inside Apple's ecosystem.
